"Well! You had a really solid sleep this time, Angelo? Angelo?"
Reilly, who had just gotten up and was still a little sleepy, stretched his body, and then shouted Angelo's name twice.
Seeing that the latter did not respond, Reilly subconsciously looked to the side, only to find that the bed where Angelo was sleeping was already empty.
Then Rayleigh shrugged helplessly. After putting on his clothes, he just walked out of the hotel when he saw Angelo holding the light-shattering blade and practicing every move on horseback.
The moves flow smoothly between changes, and the sword energy occasionally emitted will cut off all the surrounding vegetation.
Then, sensing Rayleigh's arrival, Angelo immediately sheathed his sword and asked:
"It seems that you slept well this time, but if you leave now, you may encounter some other troubles on the way. Don't you plan to prepare for it?"
"It's okay. We've already come this far. Why are we worried about trouble? But there is one thing. Although we know where to go now, how to get there is what we should pay attention to. By the way, you got up earlier.
Have you heard any useful information?"
After replying a few words, Rayleigh touched his chin as he spoke. At the end of the sentence, Rayleigh smoothed the thoughts in his mind and asked.
Seeing Angelo nodding, Reilly smiled knowingly and secretly said, "Sure enough," he had known for a long time that he was a person who would not waste time. In this case, he must have some useful information, otherwise he wouldn't
Will push myself so anxiously.
Thoughts flashed through his mind. Just when Rayleigh was about to ask, he suddenly frowned. His mind unconsciously thought of the uncle he met in the nomadic village. Then the question he blurted out changed.
became a definite rhetorical question:
"You mean the uncle who is looking for his family?"
"Oh? Hahahaha, you're right! It seems you haven't fallen asleep yet!"
Angelo nodded in surprise, and replied slightly unexpectedly, obviously not expecting that Reilly would guess it, and then continued:
"After we defeated Seder, the demon who dominated this mountain realm, there were a lot fewer monsters wandering around this mountain realm, so the uncle set out to find his son and daughter-in-law, well..."
At this point, Angelo said "hmm", obviously thinking about what to say next.
But Reilly thought Angelo was deliberately hanging him, so he quickly grabbed the latter's shoulders and urged:
"What happened next? Tell me quickly! What happened next?"
"Stain...um..."
Ignoring Reilly's urging, Mr. Angelo groaned, and then let out a long "hmm" sound. Then under Reilly's impatient eyes, Angelo peeled off the straps that Reilly grabbed on his shoulders.
arm, then shrugged and said with a wry smile:
"I don't know what to say next. In short, there is no danger. He has found his son and daughter-in-law. It's just that his son was a little injured. That's the problem? Alas..."
After speaking, Angelo shook his head and sighed again.
After hearing this, Reilly frowned and then subconsciously asked:
"Looking at you, I'm afraid he suffered an unusual injury. If my guess is correct, the injury is not fatal, but it is difficult to cure, right?"
Looking at the confused Rayleigh, Angelo nodded and added:
"Yes, it is said that 1,000 gold is needed, but I looked through the books that Mr. Sassabi gave us, and I don't even know what the 1,000 gold is. This is the so-called trouble!"
After speaking, Angelo found a seat and sat down, then took out the map that the man just gave him and handed it to Riley.
Reilly took the map and looked at it. He nodded and showed an expression of sudden realization. Then when he saw a figure in the lower right corner, his brows furrowed deeply.
"It seems that you have also seen it, that is the 1,000 gold they were talking about!"
At this time, Angelo's voice reached his ears, and Reilly didn't bother to answer. He pinched the eyebrow between his eyes with the thumb and index finger of his left hand, thinking hard.
At this moment, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Rayleigh's mind, and he quickly took out the raccoon cat transformation leaf he had found in the pyramid before, and after pouring magic power into it, he saw the raccoon cat transformation leaf in Rayleigh's hand.
Suddenly turned into a ball of fire......
Seeing this strange scene, Angelo, who was sitting on the ground, quickly stood up from the ground, and then stared at the flame in Rayleigh's hand without blinking.
Under the gaze of the two people, the flame turned into a ball of golden jade-like liquid after burning for about half a minute.
It looks like a ball of yellow jade from a distance, but don’t think it is real jade. After all, real jade is not that heavy, just like this...
"Angelo! Angelo, catch it quickly, I can't hold it anymore!"
Feeling the weight of the strange object in his hand, Rayleigh had no time to react. He said anxiously and hurriedly threw the strange object in his hand to Angelo.
Angelo didn't take it seriously. The moment he took the 1,000 gold that Rayleigh had thrown in his hand, the terrifying weight caught Angelo off guard and he carried it to the ground.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Angelo suddenly exerted force, supported the ground with one hand, and then somersaulted forward. After stabilizing his body, he said in amazement:
"Is this 1,000 gold? Why is such a small thing so heavy, and why is it soft to the touch? What's going on?"
After saying that, Angelo threw the 1,000 gold in the air, caught it steadily, and started playing with it in his hands.
This "1000 gold" is very soft, at least Angelo thinks so.
Seeing the "1000 gold" in his hand being "rua" into a strip, and then being flattened into a disc shape, Angelo raised his head and looked at Reilly, his eyes filled with doubts and heat...
After flexing his hands, which were a little weak and numb, Rayleigh pointed to the "1,000 gold" in Angelo's hand, showed a slightly nostalgic smile, and explained while recalling:
"This thing is called topaz in my hometown of God's world, which means: a jade with a color like gold. However, what is different from ordinary jade is that it can absorb any energy floating in the universe, and because of
Due to the softness of the material itself, this thing is often used as medicine to treat illnesses!"
"Cure? This thing can cure diseases?"
Angelo asked in surprise.
"Yes!"
Reilly nodded, replied in a positive tone, and then continued:
"Didn't I just say that this thing can absorb any energy that exists in the universe? Although there is an upper limit on the magnitude, that is not the point. The point is that when I say absorb any energy in the universe, it naturally also includes
Some injuries caused by being contaminated by strange things,
For example, the power of curse, the breath of darkness, the resentment of the undead, and those injuries that can obviously be recovered on their own, but they have never been able to recover because of the obstruction of external forces in the body!"
Having said this, Reilly paused for a moment, then made a careful gesture and added:
"And because of its special material, it is also relatively precious. In a certain mountain world, this kind of thing is also used as currency!"
After saying that, Rayleigh pulled out the cursed sword from his back. Before he could make any move, he heard Angelo's exclamation voice blurting out:
"Ah? If that's the case, can this thing be used as a material for forging weapons, although it is a bit wasteful..."
As he spoke, Angelo lowered his head and poked the surface of the topaz with his finger. After poking a dent with a little force, he looked up and saw Rayleigh wiping the Cursed Sword, and then pointed at Angelo, gesturing for him to take it.
Good topaz
"What are you going to do, guy?"
Although he knew that Rayleigh would not mess around, Angelo still asked symbolically.
And Reilly's answer was indeed somewhat beyond Angelo's expectations.
"If my guess is correct, the person we are looking for who needs topaz must have suffered some kind of curse, or be contaminated with some weird energy, but no matter what, if such a large piece of topaz is all used on it,
~What a waste!”
After saying that, Riley made a few gestures with his sword, then took Angelo's wrist and pulled it out.
After adjusting the position, Rayleigh used the cursed sword to cut the topaz on Angelo's palm. Just before the sword blade was about to touch the topaz, Rayleigh suddenly stopped, then frowned and sighed to himself
Said:
"No, if you use this sword to cut it, the power of the curse will be sucked away. Once it is contaminated with the power of the curse...ah~ what should I do? Do I really have to give it all away?...
…”
As he spoke, Rayleigh leaned against the fence and scratched his hair regretfully.
Angelo also frowned after hearing Reilly's complaint.
Will it absorb the power inherent in the blade?
Wait, if it is the magic weapon in my hand...
At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind, which made Angelo nod subconsciously. Then Angelo called Lei Li, then freed up one hand to pick up the light-shattering blade hanging on his waist, and handed it to Lei Li.
Li Shenqian said:
"If you use it to cut, there shouldn't be any problem of power leakage!"
After saying that, he motioned for Rayleigh to pull out the light-shattering blade.
"Well, I hope so!"
After nodding his head, Rayleigh took the light-shattering blade with one hand. Feeling the weight of the blade, Rayleigh slowly pulled out the light-shattering blade.
"Although this is not the first time I have seen it, I have to admit that it is indeed a very good sword, but it is a bit too heavy!"
Reilly complained subconsciously, dropped the scabbard, then held the handle of the knife with both hands, took a deep breath, then aimed at the corner that Angelo had pinched out, and cut it off.
Perhaps because of its soft material, the knife cut it easily. Then Rayleigh picked up the cut topaz, which was about the size of a thumb, and then took out an empty bottle containing red medicine from the space equipment and put it away.
Go in.
Later, after Angelo shaped the remaining topaz into a long strip, Rayleigh aimed at one-third of it and cut it smoothly.
"Huh? Why did you cut it here? I originally planned to leave half of it for each person?"
After watching Reilly take away the small piece, Angelo asked in confusion.
Then he made a linear indentation on it, signaling him to continue cutting.
When Rayleigh saw Angelo's drawing action, his heart warmed up. Then he shook his head, picked up the scabbard on the ground, inserted the light-shattering blade back into the scabbard, handed it back, and then explained:
"I just want to leave a little as a souvenir. I think you will need the rest in the future. But~Angelo, I have to remind you,
Although this topaz can absorb any energy, it is best not to use it now, because there is an upper limit. The types of energy it can absorb are very limited. It can only absorb two or three different kinds of power at most. If it exceeds the upper limit...
"
At this point, Rayleigh stopped,
And Angelo continued to ask:
"What happens if you exceed the upper limit?"
"If it exceeds the upper limit of its carrying capacity, it will disappear. If it exceeds the upper limit of its capacity, it will explode! So, you can treat it as an energy seed. Of course, I also heard about it from my grandfather. You still need to study it in detail later.
.”
After saying that, Rayleigh picked up the map that recorded the power of Thor, looked at it carefully, and after confirming the route, Rayleigh put away the map, and then said:
"I think you have nothing to do now. If you don't need to prepare anything, then we should set off!"
"Well! Apart from this, there's nothing else to do. Let's go!"
Nodding, the two men tidied up a bit, and then set off on the road to the Land of Thunder God.
Due to the destruction of the ruler of this mountain world, Seid Steel, there were almost no demons that attacked the two of them along the way. Even if there were one or two evil beasts with no eyes, they were eliminated by Rayleigh and Angelo.
Removed by means of thunder.
Therefore, for the first time, the two of them were close to their destination in just half a day, which took them a day and a night to complete.
"Oh! Rayleigh! If you go to the northeast, there should be the Fountain of Resurrection. Do you want to take a dip there?"
Nearly halfway along, Angelo stopped at a fork in the road, pointed at a certain location on the map, and asked Reilly.
After hearing what Angelo said, Rayleigh also came over. After carefully observing the position on the map a few times, he said with some regret:
"Oops! If this is the Fountain of Resurrection, I didn't expect that the destination would be so close to the Fountain of Resurrection. What a pity. Forget it, let's not go there. It's a waste of time."
After saying that, he asked Angelo to put away the map, Rayleigh waved his hand, and then the two of them crossed the trees on both sides and moved towards the target.
Afterwards, while walking and checking the road signs on the map, it took the two of them nearly two hours to finally reach their destination, even without encountering a battle.
The entrance that looked the same as the entrance to Sedegang's palace made the two of them look at each other subconsciously. After being slightly more wary, the two of them walked down one after another.
It is different from the luxurious feeling of red brick paving and white painted walls in the underground palace in my mind. This place is simply like a house built underground.
Since it was an inhabited house, there must be someone living here. Thinking of this, the two of them carefully asked a few questions. When no one answered, they walked to the back room.
Sure enough, at the innermost corner, there was another trapezoidal tunnel entrance.
Without hesitation, the two of them walked down and found themselves in a house that resembled a corridor or a utility room.
After walking out, in a narrow passage, a woman stood in front of the two of them...
Just when Reilly wanted to ask, he was stopped by Angelo. Then in Reilly's confused eyes, Angelo whispered:
"She was cast under a holding spell. I think she is the uncle's daughter-in-law, so his son might be here too. Let's go over there. Someone might have deliberately blocked her here!"
After speaking, Angelo turned around and walked in the other direction.
After walking two steps, a room with a bedroom-like decoration came into view. The two of them took a rough look, and then saw a dying man lying on the bed against the wall in front of them.
Then, the two of them walked over. Before Reilly could ask, the man suddenly opened his eyes and said in a stiff tone:
"If you want to go through, you must hand over Huang Yu!"
The slightly harsh words, with a hint of command, stunned Rayleigh who originally wanted to take out the topaz directly...
"He was also tricked?" What about "handing over" - or "not handing over"?
When he noticed such a thought flashing through his mind, Rayleigh smiled and took out the topaz in the bottle from the space equipment.
After pouring the topaz out of the bottle, Rayleigh picked up a thumb-sized piece of topaz and placed it on the man's chest.
Then the two of them saw traces of scarlet strange power continuously overflowing from the man's chest, and then they were all sucked into the yellow jade.
I saw that the topaz with a golden color began to turn scarlet due to absorbing the power of the man lying on the bed.
But this situation did not last long. In just two minutes, the strange power was completely absorbed by Huang Yu, and the man lying on the bed also let out a long moan after the power left his body.
After making a sound, he glanced at the two of them and then passed out.
Almost at the same time, there were rapid footsteps behind them. Angelo and the two looked back and saw that the woman who had been enchanted had also returned to normal.
Seeing the woman walk to the bedside and caressing the man's face tenderly, Angelo and Angelo walked aside wisely. Just as they were about to leave, they heard the woman speak:
"Thank you very much. I think you two brave men are also looking for the power of the God of Thunder. Then after you get out of here, just go north."
"Uh~! Thank you!"
After Lei Li replied, the two of them heard the blessing from the woman:
"Be careful on the road, may the strength be with you and me!"
After hearing this, Angelo also replied:
"May the strength be with you and me!"
After saying that, the two left here without looking back.
After walking out of the room, the two continued to walk north. Although they encountered some troubles along the way, they also encountered new enemies.
For example, Subi, who fell down at a touch, don't ask why the guy who looks like a skeleton monster is called Subi, the guy said so himself.
Subsequently, the near-miss battles along the way delayed the two of them for some time, but they still found some clues the next morning.
Hotel, yes, another hotel.
When the two of them walked into the hotel and just wanted to take a rest, the proprietress of the hotel said this:
"You are the ones who handed over 1,000 gold. Please go somewhere, there is someone there who wants to see you!"
After saying that, after pulling the valve, the two of them saw that a piece of the wall to the right of the counter was suddenly missing, and then they saw another trapezoidal tunnel entrance.
"Why do they like to live underground? Could it be that rats are causing trouble?"
After Rayleigh said something sincerely, he rolled his eyes and quickly followed Angelo who had left.
After getting down, they took a cursory look and found no mechanism around them, so the two of them continued walking forward.
After passing a relatively winding road, the two found a ladder leaning against the wall at a corner.
Although they didn't know who was waiting in front, the two people who were more confident in their own strength didn't think too much and climbed up one after another...
After going up, the two of them took a rough look around and found that they should be in a palace.
Just when the two of them took two steps forward and were about to figure out what the owner of this place meant by calling them here, the scene reflected in the depths of their eyes shocked both of them.
"Those four guys seem to be exactly the same, they always feel familiar..."
An idea flashed through Rayleigh's mind
Angelo turned around and glanced at Rayleigh next to him, then pinched the latter's face and observed it carefully...
"It's so similar! No, it's not similar, it's exactly the same. How is that possible?"
Angelo thought in his mind.
At the same time, Rayleigh, whose face was pinched by Angelo, finally reacted. After pushing Angelo aside, he instantly pulled out the cursed sword and pointed it forward, and then shouted loudly:
